Woody Options

I'm glad to hear that at least things are starting to look up. Of course those puppies won't fill the space in your heart for Woody, but I'm sure they will become special in their own ways in time and will fill another part of your heart. It is 6 weeks for me as of yesterday. Most days are good...but like you, there are moments where I just feel an extreme sense of loss, cry, but then pull myself back up. I finally got Penny's ashes...I keep them in my room as well, and speak to her daily. It helps. I feel like having her ashes has created some sense of closure for me, and now I'm focusing on moving ahead as best I can. Sounds like the pups will keep you and Smokey more than busy:)

Thinking of you, your family, and of course, Woody,

Dear Steve,

I'm hoping your doing okay and are having a good week. I know the pain is still fresh but easing a bit. I miss my Candy very deeply now more than ever, even after finally welcoming home a new pair of puppies, having them just reminded me of how much joy Candy and her sister Pepper have given me over the years.

It's been six months and though I try not to cry, I still can't help doing so when I see her pictures.

I adopted a new pair of puppies and one is the spitting image of Candy when she was a puppy. It does comfort me and maybe one day you'll be able to get a new one as well.

Hang in there Steve and know we are hurting with you and hope you will get through the holidays. Know your Woody boy will always be with you.

Take care

Candy's Dad

I haven't been here for a while. I have been busy with the puppies and Smokey Joe. Smokey turned ten years old on Valentine's Day and he is hanging in there. At times he enjoys the puppies and other times he doesn't want anything to do with them. The pups are six months old now and full of the devil. We had a fence installed around our yard to keep all of the dogs contained and safe. I still miss my Woody very much. We took Smokey and the pups to the farm a week ago where we used to take Woody and Smoke and I had to hang back from the group because I couldn't stop crying. I kept looking around where Woody used to run and even though I knew I wouldn't see him, I kept looking. He must have been in the area with us. I hope everyone is doing as well as they can be and I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter in spite of their circumstances. Happy Easter, Woody.

Hi Steve K..and a happy belated birthday Smokey!...Glad to see you are trying to create new memories in Woody's favorite place with the new pups..Sounds like his presence is all around there. I can certainly relate. I still look around the yard and see my Arthur eating his catnip and catching dragonflys. They touch our souls so deeply that they will remain with us forever..Happy Easter Steve..Ann
